Vietnam bank code guide

When to use CITAD code, what to request from the bank, and how to interpret directory results.

Domestic payments

Use the CITAD/payment-office identifier required by the receiving bank and transfer service.

International payments

Ask the receiving bank for its SWIFT/BIC and currency-specific beneficiary instructions.

Important distinctions

Some source entries use centralised ALL BRANCHES payment codes.
A previous code is shown separately when the source supplies it; it is not substituted for the listed code.
The saved source is a dated bank-published reference, not live account validation.

How to find and confirm the identifier

Ask the recipient to obtain payment instructions from their bank’s official app, statement or website.
Match the country, identifier type and institution. Keep leading zeros and do not substitute a different code type.
For a changed bank or branch, verify the replacement instructions directly with the bank. A similar name is not enough.

Directory coverage
